Meltimer turns focus time into something you can actually see. Instead of staring at a plain countdown, watch a block of ice melt away, a candle burn down, an hourglass empty, or a plant grow — all in real time, synced to your focus session. It's a small shift that makes deep work feel less like a chore and more like something worth watching through. WHY MELTIMER Most timers just count numbers. Meltimer gives your focus time a visual, almost meditative form — so you actually want to stay locked in until it's done. ALL MODES, NO PAYWALL Melting Ice and Burning Candle modes — free from the start, no sign-up required Hourglass, Growing Plant, Fire, and Balloon — unlock each one permanently by watching a single quick ad Session durations: 1, 5, 15, or 25 minutes free, with 45 and 60 minute sessions unlockable by watching a quick ad BUILD REAL HABITS Daily streaks that keep you coming back XP and leveling system as you rack up focused hours 15 unlockable achievements, from your first session to deep, sustained focus milestones Weekly focus stats so you can see your progress at a glance BUILT FOR REAL FOCUS Clean, distraction-free interface Optional ambient sound (light rain, soft fire crackle) while you work Haptic feedback and completion chimes Daily focus reminders to help you build consistency Whether you're studying, working deep on a project, or just trying to build a healthier relationship with focused time, Meltimer makes every minute visible — and every session a little more satisfying to finish.
